Former NFL quarterback Brett Favre disclosed in congressional testimony on Sept. 24 that he has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, which has no cure.

Favre, who was testifying on an unrelated matter, told members of the U.S. House of Representatives Ways and Means Committee that he invested in a company that he thought was developing a breakthrough drug for concussions. He lost the investment due to authorities finding public money, some of which was sent to the doctor running the company, was misspent.
